Love it or List it

To Love It or List it… that is the question. Are you in a home that is no longer up to date? Are you done with the drab, brown colors? You want to move but the market is so crazy right now, there is no way you could find a home that you want, in the price range you want and the timeframe? You are not alone. I understand just how frustrating it can be to have a home that you are not absolutely in love with. It may be a bit outdated and you want something new and fresh that will fit your style. The thought of finding a newer home can feel so overwhelming. I was just talking to my client about this the other day, and let me tell you… you have options. 

Now do I think listing your home could be the right answer to get you into a new and updated home? It could be! Everyone’s situation is different and that’s why I think it’s so important to talk to an expert in the field. 

My clients are currently in the same spot… Not loving their 2015 home with multi-colored brown paints on every inch of their home. They are wanting something nicer for their family with a modern look and feel. St. George is a competitive market and we are now seeing a trend where the more modern and updated homes are selling for top dollar in today’s market. 

Maybe right now is not the right time to move but you still want an upgraded look? “But Sarah, I can’t afford to renovate my home right now”. I completely understand. The time, the money… why would you want to make those investments for a house that you may not stay in. I have compiled quick and easy upgrades that can make your home feel brand new… and who knows- you may just fall in love with it again. Here are 2 reasons that I think that upgrading your home will benefit you in the long run-

1. You may just fall in love again.

Do you remember the moment you first bought your home and you were so excited to move in and make it your own? Upgrading your home can have this same effect. I spoke to my friend about this just yesterday! She bought an older home that was a 2015 build. The home had great bones but the paint, light fixtures and cabinetry were dragging the place down. With some fresh new paint, new lighting and door knobs; the home was transformed. 

2. Selling your home for top dollar.

Remember the friend that I just told you about? She was able to sell her home for 50k more than she expected from just those simply upgrades alone. I have another client that is currently doing the same thing. They want to eventually sell their home but why not love it while you are living in it and then get top dollar in the competitive market when it’s time to sell. 

I have compiled a list of EASY home upgrades that take little to no time at all but will elevate the space you are in. Click HERE to see my Amazon idea list for easy home upgrades.
